What New Brunswick Law Requires

Regulation 92-133, the Code of Practice for Working Alone, sets out exactly what employers must do

Definition

Written Code of Practice

Employers must have a formal, written Code of Practice specific to the worksite and the roles that work alone, kept current as conditions change.

Regulation 92-133 →
Hazard ID

Monitoring Procedures

Written procedures for monitoring lone workers, including the method and frequency of contact appropriate to the work and its risks.

Regulation 92-133 →
Written Procedures

Emergency Assistance

The Code must define how a lone worker can obtain emergency assistance, and how the employer will provide it if a worker stops responding.

Regulation 92-133 →
Training

Working-Alone Prohibitions

Under New Brunswick's General Regulation 91-191, working alone is prohibited in confined spaces, when operating chainsaws, brush saws or clearing saws, in diving operations, or where there is a drowning risk unless a life jacket is worn.

General Reg 91-191 →
Annual Review

Training & Records

Workers must be trained on the Code of Practice, with documented evidence such as sign-in sheets or learning-management records.

Regulation 92-133 →
Check-in Intervals

Keep the Code Current

A Code of Practice that's never updated after the work materially changes can fail an inspection, even if the rest of the program is solid. Keep it current as roles, sites, and hazards change.

The Bottom Line

New Brunswick doesn't just suggest a Code of Practice, it mandates one, with monitoring procedures, training records, and a current review. CheckMate produces that evidence automatically.

Many New Brunswick employers think they're compliant when they're actually exposed

Common Gaps

What Gets Employers Cited

  • No documentation that training actually happened
  • Contact frequency not matched to the level of risk
  • No defined way for a lone worker to get emergency help
  • A Code of Practice that's gone stale since the work changed

Common Questions

Regulation 92-133 requires employers to have a written Code of Practice for any role that works alone. It must set out how lone workers are monitored (the method and frequency of contact), how a worker can obtain emergency assistance, and how the employer will provide it. Training on the Code must be documented.
Regulation 92-133 ties contact frequency to the level of risk rather than a fixed number. Higher-hazard or more isolated work, like forestry, needs more frequent contact; lower-risk work can be less frequent. CheckMate lets you configure different intervals for different roles.
Yes. Under New Brunswick's General Regulation 91-191, working alone is prohibited in confined spaces, when operating chainsaws, brush saws or clearing saws, in diving operations, and where there is a risk of drowning unless a life jacket is worn. For everything else, a written Code of Practice and monitoring procedures are required. CheckMate produces the contact and escalation records automatically.
Yes. We support satellite devices for forestry, mining, and utility workers in northern and rural New Brunswick where cell coverage is unreliable. Workers can check in via satellite communicator, and we can track their GPS location anywhere in Canada.

Beware the Hidden Cost of "Cheap" Apps
